So there is this hold called "album". And there is a room, where I have to trap slayer to execute a script to oped the door. All seems great, but the Slayer was supposed to appear on the edge when I walk into the room, just like any normal slayer uses to appear in the room, when it was placed on the edge of room. I looked into the editor and indeed, there is a slayer placed on the edge. So why doesn't it appear?
"Maybe the scroll" I thought. So I made this lil' hold. It uses both Slayer and 39th Slayer. But neither appears on normal ground, on scroll nor on fuse.

I'm using version *.56 if it matters, and Just yesterday I was using *.55 still, although I don't know if it worked in that version.

Is this only my TCB, or does everyone has this problem with slayers?
I appeared the hold which illustrates the problem. I didn't manage to make any slayer appear in this hold.

The hold you attached for me works fine in 54.

Are you sure you're walking far enough away from the entrance in your testing? You need to be at least 3 steps away from the entrance (more if you're facing it) for the slayer to then appear on a turn which is a multiple of 5.

Works fine for me in build 56, except that there isn't a single slayer to be found anywhere in both rooms both in the editor and in-game.

Build 54, on the other hand, beeped at me when I imported it and dumped the following into DROD.err:

*** FIRST LOG IN SESSION 2/9/08 2:57PM ***

And, you guessed it, no Slayer(s) to be found anywhere either.

np: Blamstrain - Polyplex (Lowblow)

That should've been 54. I get the same drod.err stuff, but I do get slayers in all 6 entrances of 1N.

I don't mean to be over-zealous, but this problem is really irritating and prevents from completing a hold, and seems to fade away into the nothingness at this point. From what Briareos said, it doesn't seem to be problem with my DROD installation.

Sorry for bumping, but this happens to me as well in build 57. When is this going to be fixed?

I've fixed it for build 58. I accidentally introduced this bug in build 56, when I added the minimap room display. So sorry.
